According to the strict rules of the International Maritime Organization regarding the reduction of greenhouse gases and atmospheric pollutants, reducing the energy consumption of ships is among the first priorities of shipping companies and their owners. This article deals with the relationship between the use of a new technology called Sea Kite and the reduction of fuel consumption of ships and its effect on the reduction of operating costs (ship fuel cost). The fuel cost of ships is one of the most effective parts of the operating costs of shipping companies and the concern of their owners. In addition, trying to reduce fuel consumption by using renewable technologies in order to prevent the increase of operating costs and preventing the emission of atmospheric pollutants, in accordance with the new regulations of the International Maritime Organization, is one of the major goals facing the shipping industry. This article describes the aerodynamic performance of the sea kite and its influencing factors and will answer how the kite produces power and energy to replace a part of the main propulsion power according to the aerodynamic equations. In this article, the effect of the auxiliary power of the kite on the fuel consumption of the ship and the increase in economic efficiency has been investigated. In addition, the effects of the kite on reducing environmental pollution, how to install the kite on the ship and the increase in efficiency and speed of the ship when using the kite have been examined too. In this research, by studying the types of ships, the conditions of using seakite technology are theoretically discussed, and the fuel costs of the desired ship class are evaluated after using the technology. Finally, conclusions are drawn using the collected data. In favorable weather conditions, Sea kite technology can reduce fuel consumption by 5-33% and lead to a 20% reduction in greenhouse gases.
